ADVENTURE
AirAdventures – An Adventure under the African Skies
BY AIRADVENTURES
A hot air balloon flight is usually a once in a lifetime experience and choosing the right operator to ensure that your flight meets all expectations, is an important decision.
Below, we list a number of reasons why AirVentures is well positioned to offer you a superior flight experience.
What sets us apart
The motivating force behind AirVentures, was to create a hot air ballooning company that incorporated an African “feel”, and provided a quality air-borne adventure that would leave passengers with the memory of a true “African experience”.
Whether it be drifting over wildlife on our Safari Flight, or taking in the breath-taking scenery on one of our Classic Flights, we add further value to your experience by employing FGASA (Field Guides Association of South Africa) qualified pilots and staff. Their knowledge of the environment will ensure that your time spent with us is informative, as well as exciting and fun.
Award Winning Company
AirVentures Hot Air Ballooning is the proud recipient of eight tourism awards.
Our African Identity
Our primary balloon fleet was designed as a tribute to an African sunrise, with the warmth of the colour spectrum reflected in the use of reds, oranges and yellow. The intricate pattern used for the balloon “envelope” incorporates the geometric design of tribal artwork, and our baskets are woven in the traditional manner.
Khaki uniforms for ground crew and pilots, continue our safari theme, and our towing vehicles are well suited to traverse the African bush terrain. From our website to our logo, from our flight confirmations, to our certificates, we focus on the detail that ensures we provide an experience that encompasses all that is great about Africa.
Beautiful Flying Areas
Cradle of Humankind (World Heritage Site):
We are the only balloon operator to launch our balloons centrally within the Cradle of Humankind, and to offer a full flight experience within the 53 000-hectare world heritage site. Proclaimed a world heritage site in 1998, this protected area is predominately made up of large private game reserves, it contains 13 fossil sites, and has over one third of all hominid fossil finds in the world. With minimal human impact, this area is a true wilderness gem to fly in.
Magaliesberg:
Renowned for ballooning, this picturesque area boasts a range of mountains that are almost a 100 times older than Everest , and are literally thousands of millions of years old. An area of significant South African and geological history, its vastness and beauty can only really be appreciated from the air. Like the Cape vulture that soars in the thermals around these mountains, a hot air balloon ride is un-paralleled in its ability to provide silent, 360-degree visibility.
